We are usually grateful for what has already happened. Yet when you combine your gratitude with your optimism, you get a powerhouse for generating the future outcomes you desire. As Dr. Joe Dispenza so brilliantly points out, when you give thanks for something you want but has yet to occur, "you are moving from cause and effect to causing an effect."

 

• As you start your day, practice feeling grateful for the exact kind of day you would like to have. Make the feeling strong inside you, and speak a deep 'thank you' from your heart.
• When preparing to re-enter the world post-quarantine, say 'thanks' in advance for your good health tomorrow, next month and ongoing.
• If you're approaching an important event, a difficult conversation or physical challenge, be grateful in advance for the exact kind of successful outcomes you desire.
